Hi, sorry about the lack of news lately.  In case you hadn't heard, 
our friend the
<a href="http://www.eff.org/IP/DMCA/">DMCA</a> has been busy wreaking
havoc again.  Since there's nothing new here, please take a moment to 
read (and hopefully sign)
<a href="http://www.dibona.com/">Chris Dibona's</a> Community
Declaration regarding the arrest and imprisonment of Dmitry Sklyarov.
You can check it out <a href="http://www.dibona.com/dmca/">here</a>.
<br /><br />

As an aside, you should consider contacting
<a href="http://www.adobe.com/">Adobe</a> representatives and letting
them know how you feel about purchasing software from companies that
encourage incarcerating non-US citizens under bullshit US laws.  I've
already mailed the following people, and I suggest you do the same:
